mizbizzyb Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Is there any cheaper way to sent a candle? I didn't know if anyone knew. And how well do crayons work?Candle making is not a cheap venture. Not by far. You want to find quality fragrances so you can have a good throw.Crayons are not meant for candles. There are specific dyes that are made for candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhepp7gw2 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Does it count if I make candles and sell other folks home made soap?I love making and selling candles, it is very time consuming and some what costly for the initial investment. The problem is I love good handcrafted soaps but I dont have the time or the knowledge to make my own.I do by good quality soaps made by others to sell at my markets and even allow them to put their labels on the soap(saves me money) I always give the soap maker credit for their work.People love good soaps and great smelling candles:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichelleOH Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I currently offer both. I started with candles then B&B. Personally I love B&B so much more than making candles. I have recently thought about discontinuing my candles and going B&B only! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how well do crayons work?Crayons work good in coloring books, but not too good to dye wax.Nope, I know of no cheaper way to scent a candle than to put some fragrance oil in it.

tangerine Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 A little confused here. Does what count?He means does it count that he makes candles and sells someone else's soap, as opposed to making his own soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarysweet95 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I started candle making and that led me into making soaps too. I like making both, but personally prefer making candles, as i find i can play about with colour and effects more with candles! Oh and i like to watch them burn too!!!!!! Also theres loads more involved in selling bath products, in the UK anyway, not sure about the US. You have to have all the ingredients properly externally tested and have a special license. This is far too much trouble with me, so i just make nice pretty soaps for friends and family. My mum likes it cause she gets soaps and candles for free, but then i do take up all her kitchen whenever i make them!!!!!!!!On a side note i also love making bead jewellery, so i guess i just like making things (I cant draw to save my life so it must be my creative outlet!!! LOL!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
